Difficulty with Apple Mail

I'm sick of chronically getting this message <<Cannot send message using the server iCloud>>. Connection Doctor says all three accounts are connected inbound and outbound. For some reason, iCloud is listed 2x, AOL 1x, Comcast 1x and then one that says SMTP. I usually click on the iCloud server, one or the other, and quite often I will get the "cannot" message again and again. Sometimes, I quit Mail and reopen, and that's a cure. Edit SMTP server list looks fine, only shows the 3 servers iCloud, AOL and Comcast. Using latest OS Ventura 13.0.1, Mail is 16.0 and MBP with M1 Chip. Any ideas? It's really annoying trying to work and getting interrupted by Mail.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.0
